Rubio, N., et al., Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems Fisheries & Aquaculture
Cellular agriculture is defined as the production of agricultural products from cell cultures rather than from whole plants or animals. With growing interest in cellular agriculture as a means to address public health, environmental, and animal welfare challenges of animal agriculture, the concept of producing seafood from fish cell- and tissue-cultures is emerging as an approach to address similar challenges with industrial aquaculture systems and marine capture.

Marine Stewardship Council Fisheries & Aquaculture
Seafood is a highly nutritious, renewable, low-carbon food source – but only if it’s managed sustainably. Unfortunately, the trends continue to go in the wrong direction, with the latest UN figures showing that a third of all fish stocks have been overexploited. Overfishing – along with pollution, climate change and other pressures – has pushed our oceans to crisis point.

Gaines, S.D. et al., Science Advances Fisheries & Aquaculture
The world’s oceans supply food and livelihood to billions of people, yet species’ shifting geographic ranges and changes in productivity arising from climate change are expected to profoundly affect these benefits. We ask how improvements in fishery management can offset the negative consequences of climate change; we find that the answer hinges on the current status of stocks.Read more → (more than 30 minute read)
